Summary

The world is changing. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries have been disrupted and are being remade before our eyes. Everything we aspired to for "security," everything we thought was "safe," no longer is: College. Employment. Retirement. Government. It’s all crumbling down. In every part of society, the middlemen are being pushed out of the picture. No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It’s on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself.

New tools and economic forces have emerged to make it possible for individuals to create art, make millions of dollars, and change the world without "help." More and more opportunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inward success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work and wealth).

This audiobook will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studies, interviews and examples - including the author, investor and entrepreneur James Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story - Choose Yourself illuminates your personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old.

A hall of famer

That's one of the best motivational/self-help audiobooks I've ever listened to. It helps that James is so naturally funny too.

Strongly recommend.

One of my favourite Audible books

I listen to a lot of audio books to sleep. James’s performance and energy is just incredible. Some of the comments are so funny. Heard him on the Rich Roll podcast and now a firm favourite .

Funny, real and useful

The principles are simple. James Altucher guides you through a series of real life stories that help to concrete his actual experience with these simple steps of choosing yourself.

Before I was halfway I had already started to implement some of the suggestions.

Clever and funny

Its amazing

I felt every chapter very close to my inner thoughts, I felt like this book gave me answers for many questions which I was unaware of my self. This book gives you energy, motivation and confidence. I highly recommend this and I kept repeating some chapters to listen again and again. James Altucher wrote very closr to reality. 😊😊

Loved this book

I love this guy, he is funny, honest, clever and informative. He genuinely wants to help and I’ve taken away so much from this book. Highly recommend- thanks!

Please listen to this book

I was recommended this book by a post from Chris Brogan and I downloaded the audio version. I like listening to books while I walk to work every day.
I got also the written version but I really like the audio since its read by James itself and he is a very down to earth guy and funny also.
The contents and ideas are not new in the sense that other authors are writing about the massive change in our economy and labour panorama but what makes this book unique is that they are really simple techniques and ideas to implement in your life that anybody can follow.
The whole thing sounded to me more like a chat with a dear friend while having coffee than a lecture. James is not standing on a perfection pedestal and he talks about his dark moments where he lost everything. And that's the kind of advice that I find so relevant to this moment in time in our world.
Hope you enjoy it!!
